Guardians of the Galaxy movie is soaring high in box office! It already earned an estimated $94 million in the weekend setting a new record for any movie debuting in August making it the third highest earning film in 2014 next to Transformers: Age of Extinction ($100 million) and Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95 million). The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007 previously held the title with $69.3 million earnings.

Lead male star Chris Pratt cannot contain his feelings about the latest achievement of the movie taking to his social media account to thank not only the fans of the film but, the people behind the success of the film saying:

"Thank you everyone watching #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy this weekend!' he wrote.  'We're all so happy that people are loving it.

Stay for the credits, not just the awesome post credit sequence but to read the hundreds if not thousands of names responsible for bringing it to the screen. #grateful"

The highly successful Guardians of the Galaxy movie also stars also stars Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel and Dave Bautista as members of the goofy intergalactic superheroes.

Director James Gunn on the other hand, who never had a high budget film until this took to his personal Facebook page to thank everyone who supported and continue supporting Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Here's a transcript of the letter: 

"Thanks to all of you who saw (and are seeing) Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend, from the bottom of my heart. The Guardians are a group of oddballs, outcasts, and geeks. The movie is for anyone who ever felt cast aside, left out, or different. It's for all of us who don't belong. This movie belongs to you. And, today, I think we're doing okay.

I am of course happy with all the film has accomplished box-office-wise. But what touches me the most is that the film I told the folks at Marvel I wanted to make two years ago is the film that you're seeing in theaters today - it's that so many of you seem to be directly EXPERIENCING the film I INTENDED. The cast, the producers, the crew, and I felt like we were making something special while we were making it. But it is very rare that a director's INTENTIONS in creating a film, or a scene, or a character, or a line of dialogue are, seemingly, specifically what is experienced by an audience (not to mention critics!), and that seems to be what has happened here. You have allowed a talking raccoon - for a moment, a minute, or a day - to make you a little more human. And for that, I am profoundly grateful.

If I relied on myself to implement these intentions, the film would be a shambling mess. But instead, I had a wonderful cast, genius producers, an incredibly brave studio, sublimely talented visual effects artists, great editors, and the best damn crew of mostly-British bastards to actually implement these intentions for me. Where I had a good idea they would, through alchemy, transform it into a great one. Many of you involved are friends of mine on Facebook. Many of you will read this somewhere else. I love you all.

You may remember me posting here a couple weeks ago how sad I was to be finishing up the film, that I was having trouble letting go of Rocket, and that I was going to miss him. But seeing him (and Groot, and the rest of the team) embraced by the world like they have been, to be UNDERSTOOD, makes it a wonderful letting go. It's like giving a foster pet up for adoption to the most wonderful parents in the world.

And, of course, I'm not really saying goodbye as, while many of you have been enjoying the film, I've spent this weekend hard at work on the sequel. I couldn't help myself! The results are nice but it's really the creative process I love and that keeps me going. I'm on fire with this thing! The Guardians have so many hardships and heartaches and triumphs ahead of them, and I can't wait to share them with all of you.

Onto week two...

Love, James"

Meanwhile, a sequel to the unexpected successful Marvel film has already been confirmed in the San Diego Comic Con and word has it that the entire cast and crew are now preparing for the second installment to the new franchise to be released on July 28, 2017.
